A thin toothed bar I9 is removably attached to l the outer face of the outer blade l2 by the screws slots extending below the said edge a suflicient distance to form channels on the face of the blad into which the hairs that are engaged and supfported between the teeth will drop when severed l and thereby be conducted away from the cutting edge of the blade and avoid clogging of the teeth Slots 2| may be formed in the cutting edge of the blade and besupported in cutting position thereby. When the blades are closed on one another the hairs are cut off and the severed portions slide down the slotsin the bar between the teeth and thus are automatically edge of said blade, the teeth projecting slightly above the cutting edge of the outer blade to support the hair and the slots between the teeth extending below said edge and forming channels to receive the severed hairs and conduct them downwardly.
